"Freaky Friday"

http://i.imdb.com/Photos/Ss/0322330/poster.jpg

Plot: "Dr. Tess Coleman (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her fifteen-year-old daughter, Anna (Lindsay Lohan), are not getting along. They don't see eye-to-eye on clothes, hair, music, and certainly not in each other's taste in men. One Thursday evening, their disagreements reach a fever pitch - Anna is incensed that her mother doesn't support her musical aspirations and Tess, a widow about to remarry, can't see why Anna won't give her fiance (Mark Harmon) a break. Everything soon changes when two identical Chinese fortune cookies cause a little mystic mayhem. The next morning, their Friday gets freaky when Tess and Anna find themselves inside the wrong bodies. As they literally walk a mile in each other's shoes, they gain a little newfound respect for the other's point of view. But with Tess's wedding coming on Saturday, the two have to find a way to switch back - and fast."

Directed By: Mark S. Waters (Head Over Heels).

Written By: Heather Hach (Debut Screenplay) and Leslie Dixon (Mrs. Doubtfire).

Produced By: Andrew Gunn (The Haunted Mansion).

Starring: Jamie Lee Curtis (True Lies), Lindsay Lohan (The Parent Trap), Harold Gould (Stuart Little), Janet Choi (TV's "The Real World"), and Mark Harmon (Natural Born Killers).

MPAA Rating: "PG," for mild thematic elements and some language.

Thoughts: I actually wouldn't mind seeing this. It doesn't look like anything great, but the trailer's amusing, and I like the source material. I may not check it out in theatres, but I'll definitely see it someday.

A Walt Disney Pictures Release.

I really wanna see this one, I tink it looks Hilarious and Disnewy hasn't put out a film this year I didn't like.

[Nate6]

Disney could quite possibly have its third big hit in a row with this one; most preteen and young teen girls will flock to this.

It actually doesn't look as bad as I thought it would. I'm not going to see it in theaters but depending on reviews, checking it out on video is not outside the realm of possibility...

[movies35]

I own the bootleg of this, and have yet to watch it. But it looks very funny, and can't wait to watch it. I also liked the original 7/10 or B- or ***

[badberry]

Theres an original?

Anyways, this movie looks lame. Why would you pick this over American Wedding?

Agreed.

I would. This looks like harmless fun, whereas American Wedding looks fairly bland, and unfunny.

[RogueSpear]

This movie looks absolutely horrible. The original was nothing great, either, but this looks atrocious.

"I look like the Cryptkeeper!" Ughhhh...

Because American Wedding is a stupid, unnecessary, contrived sequel and this looks like it may actually be a little entertaining...

Are you talking about Night Shift? Yeah, it's a kick-ass movie, but it's not based on the "Freaky Friday" novel.

[Frank the Tank]

I know there was another Freaky Friday remake in 1995 or 1996 with Shelly Long in it and it was made for tv.

[DevilMonkey]

Yeah thats what I meant, with one of the hookers from Night-Shift.

[Nate6]

Hookers? Did someone say hookers?

[A.J. Hakari]

Down, boy. Down.

As for the picture, I'm somewhat dreading this. It could be a surprisingly sweet and entertaining picture, but it could also end up as another THE PRINCESS DIARIES, a good idea ruined by bland execution and a sub-par script. But my faith in Lindsay Lohan, who did a great job in 1998's remake of THE PARENT TRAP, is what will most likely get me to see this flick. I'm going to be careful about this one...

[Hannibal21]

I'm actually kinda looking forward to this. I was a big fan of the original and this looks quite entertaining, not to mention is has Jaime Lee Curtis! YUMMY! :p

[Horror whore]

I'm going to see this. It can't be too bad, it actually looked pretty good. I loved the "crypt-keeper" line in the trailer...

Hopefully I'll have someone to see this with because I'm not too sure my friends are going to want to rush out and see it.

[chinton]

I saw a sneak preview of this a week a go not expecting much. Boy was I wrong. Admittedly, this isn't the most original movie, although I did like the fact they switched bodies right before the mother was abotu to be married, and a lot of the jokes were kind of obvious, but let me just put this to you plain and simple.


IT IS FUNNY AS HELL!

For one thing I have never seen so many jokes in one movie. If you didn't like one tehre is another right around the bend. But the real reason w hy this movie works is because of Lindasy Lohan and Jamie Lee curtis. They are on fire the e ntrie movie especially Curtis. i always knew Curtis had a funny streak (look at True Lies) but this really proved. To see her act like a moody teenager was the source of so many laughs. Lindasy lohan accomplished quite well too. Both of them just worked so well together.

I have to give it a

9/10

One of the best time at the theater for me this summer.

[thompsoncory]

I really wanna see this and I have a gut feeling it is gonna be huge at the box office, following a PRINCESS DIARIES-like streak and crossing $100 million. No joke, people. This is really what I think.

[Strider]

Seriously, why in the hell did this film have to be remade? I don't know about you, but I was perfectly satisfied with the Jodie Foster original. Anyway, this "Freaky Friday" remake looks dreadful, and I'm none too sure I want to put up with all the teenage and little girls in the theater... they annoy the hell outta me! :D

Well, well put. The first was cute. This looks terrible. Not to mention this teenage chick...is she CAPABLE of choosing a movie that's not a remake? Parent Trap? Freaky Friday? If she plays Pollyanna...I'll...die...

LOL! Annie, you shouldn't say such things, because it could very well happen. If it's not "Pollyanna", Lindsay Lohan will appear in a remake of other Disney live-action films such as "Candleshoe", "In Search of the Castaways", or perhaps "That Darn Cat!".... :D

Strider

[chinton]

I see nobody trusts my opinion (just kidding). This really is a fun film with Jamie Lee curtis being absolutely hysterical. The previews aren't that much, but I was really surprised.

[Scarface98.9]

I'll be avoid this one. It just looks completely bland and I"m not a big fan of Jamie Lee Curtis

[chinton]

I completely agree with you Scarface. i always thought the previews were quite boring when i saw them. Thats why I was so surprised at how much I liked it.

[Ed]

as i said before, i'll say it again. I REALLY WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!

[sr.benitez]

It looks funny so Ill probably end up seing it, plus I really like Jamie Lee Curtis ....

[Jim H]

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/FreakyFriday-10001795/

89% thus far on rottentomatoes. Could be good, I hope so as JLC deserves better then the she's gotten. Well, sort of.

[Ed]

i though critics would like it, but it is getting better reviews than what i expected.

[Tom Samborski]

I'm not interested in this one, despite the fact that Jamie Lee Curtis is in it (she was smokin' hot in that striptease scene in True Lies!).

[chinton]

Its nice to finally have a film this summer I actually liked. Except for Pirates everything has dissapointed me this summer from Matrix to the awful Seabiscuit. To find a film that is not doing shameless manipulating heart tugging(Seabiscuit) or boring random explosions (every other movie this summer), but just try to be funny and enjoyable is a breath of fresh air.

This is the only film this summer I would pay to see again aside from Pirates

[Moviefreek]

I was suprised by the reviews as well. I was not expecting it to get good reviews simply because it is nothing original and has been done many times but at rotten tomatoes it is pulling in right now 9 fresh and only 1 bad. I'd hate to say it but it may have potential.

[Schatten]

I think it looks like a good movie. I'll probably see it in the dollar theatre though.

Strider

They already remade that with Christina Ricci.

Anyway I think this movie looks like a lot fun. I was pleased that Ebert and Reoper liked it and gave it Two Thumbs Up along with SWAT as well. And some of the scenes they showed were really funny. So I can't wait.

[bankholdup]

This movie looks like shit. If I see one more trailer or tv spot with Jamie Lee Curtis saying "I look like the Crypt Keeper!", somebody's gonna get bitch-slapped, mark my word.


PS...

...Lindsay Lohan is hot.

...I agree.

[Mike]

I liked the original when I was a kid and I thought this looked decent. But now with the surprisingly EXCELLENT reviews it's pulling in, I'm actually a little more interested. I was going to just wait until video, but now I'd "maybe" even consider seeing it in theaters. Although if I do, the reviews better be right.

And I'm with thompsoncory, I think it will pretty much definitely make it to 100 Million. And with the way the reviews are, if audiences feel the same way (I'm sure they will), it might do even more. I think it will do better than The Princess Diaries, which was longer and didn't have as good of reviews.

[TheGodSon]

Wow. 93 % FRESH rating so far at rottentomatoes.com.

Pretty shocking I might add. Maybe it really is a good comedy? I might check it out. HMMMmmmmm.

[SIREN30]

I thought it was a dumb idea but the trailer actually made my gigle a couple of times. I'll probably check in out on netflix...

by the way, do you think that the movie poster has switched heads on the other's body...I wonder....hmmmm.

[chinton]

Mike


After seeing it i really think you'll like it. Admittedly, we never agree on films, but after seeing the many different films you like I think this one will float your boat so to say.

[Horror whore]

After all of the positive reviews this movie is getting, I think I'm going to see this tomorrow. I thought it looked good in the first place but now that the reviews are so glowing, I definitely want to see it in theaters.

After reading all of the positive reviews and stuff, I to think I'm really going to like it. I wouldn't even mind seeing it in theaters now.

[Lynn Minmei]

Yeah, I've read some really positive reviews, but all in all it's marketed at a Female demographic of "7-15" and, frankly, I don't fit in there. But, I think it'll be a big hit, because Disney now knows how to make a hit film.

[AgentSmith]

Ebert and Roeper gave it two thumbs up, saying:

-Likeable and well acted remake of the original
-Repeats a formula seen before, but different because it is very well acted
-Hilarious, funny movie
-Affection toward the characters

[mr_gamecube]

just saw it and damn is it funny! jamie lee is so funny as a teenager and lindsey plays an awesome grownup! go see it!

[Horror whore]

I saw it today and loved it. It's much better than 99% of the crap Disney puts out there these days... Everyone should go see it.

B+

[ColinM]

In the previews Lindsay Lohen looked cute, both looks-wise (although she looks a bit young) and her mannerisms when becomes an "adult". She is the only thing that made me even want to consider renting it, as she looks like she'll be pretty funny. Otherwise the movie looks lame and I have no interest.

That's awesome... I'm actually starting to want to see this one more and more now.

For anyone that went today, how full was the theater?

[DevilMonkey]

What an awsome film. Disney has had one kick ass sumer and this really was a great way to top it all off after Holes 9/10, Lizzie McGuire 7/10, Finding Nemo 10/10, and Pirates 10/10! And this was no different. This was so hart warming, fun and funny. I can't wait to see it again. You should all go see it, except you unsensitive kinds. . . . You'll hate it.

8/10 Or B +

The theater was more packed then Pirates was when I saw it at the same theater. But this was a later show then Pirates. Still PACKED

[Inglorious]

I just saw Freaky Friday tonight. Me and girlfriend walked into the theater and went "WOW!" because there were so many people. I had been hearing good things about the previews and all, but it was PACKED!

The movie started and I was thinking, "Eh, 5/10-6/10. It's not bad yet, but not too good either." So as I sit and watch it, I just start having these moments where I laugh out loud! The movie was REALLY funny, especially for a Disney... because I'm not a big fan of Disney movies (until as of late). It had it's touching moments as well, the ending I thought was very well, I'm not gonna spoil, but touchiness (a word?), and then to comedy. I love those patch overs. It's always nice to see Jaimie Lee Curtis on a leading role again too! :D

Freaky Friday - 7/10

It was quite full actually, almost sold out. But it was one of the smaller theaters so it only seated 196 people...

I did walk through another showing later in a 500 seating theater and it was about 4/5 full...

Curtis, Lohan have a jolly romp in 'Freaky Friday'
"FREAKY FRIDAY" ***


Directed by Mark S. Waters. Starring Jamie Lee Curtis, Lindsay Lohan, Mark Harmon, Chad Murray, Ryan Malgarini, Harold Gould and Lucille Soong. Running time: 93 minutes. Classified: PG (for mild thematic elements and some language).

By Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Actors must love to make body-switch movies. Look at the fun Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan have in "Freaky Friday." Each one gets to imitate the body language and inner nature of the other, while firing salvos across the generation gap. Body-switch plots are a license for adults to act like kids; probably nobody has had more fun at it than Tom Hanks did in "Big," but Curtis comes close.
The movie is a remake of the 1976 film starring Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster, and also connects with the mid-1980s body switch craze, when three or four switcheroos were released more or less simultaneously. Curtis plays Tess Coleman, a widowed psychiatrist soon to be remarried, and Lohan is Anna, her 15-year-old daughter, who is certainly the most clean-cut garage band guitarist in history. There is a kid brother named Harry (Ryan Malgarini), who, like all kid brothers, thinks his older sister is picking on him.
Anna believes Tess is remarrying with unseemly haste; she's going through what in a Disney movie passes for a rebellious phase, and in real life would be exemplary teenage behavior. Mother and daughter join the future husband, Ryan (Mark Harmon), for dinner in a Chinese restaurant, where they get into a fight. The restaurant family's grandmother (Lucille Soong) zaps them with a fortune-cookie curse, and the next morning when they wake up Tess and Anna are in each other's bodies. (There was an article not long ago about how angels and God always seem to be played by African-Americans in the movies. Another could be written on the usefulness of movie Asian-Americans, who can always be counted on to supply magic potions, exotic elixirs, ancient charms and handy supernatural plot points.)
Anna looks in the mirror and is shocked to see her mother's body: "I look like the crypt-keeper!" Tess oversleeps just like her daughter always does. They go through the obligatory scene of horrified disbelief, although, like all body-switch movie characters, they are not simply paralyzed by astonishment and dread, but quickly decide to lead each other's lives for a while, so that there can be a story.
The movie, directed by Mark S. Waters and written by Heather Hach and Leslie Dixon, delivers scenes we can anticipate, but with more charm and wit than we expect. There is, for example, the case of Anna's flirtation with a slightly older boy named Jake (Chad Murray). He rides a motorcycle, so of course Tess disapproves of him, but now Tess, in Anna's body, is inexplicably cold to the kid, while Anna, in Tess' body, is so delighted to see him that before long she's on the back of the bike and Jake is telling her he feels like they really understand each other and maybe the age gap can be overcome.
Other entertaining scenes: The mother discovers her daughter's body has a pierced navel. The daughter buys her mother's body new clothes and a new haircut and gets her ears pierced. Tess attends a class Anna has been having trouble with, and realizes the teacher has been picking on her daughter because she (the mother) turned him down for a prom date. Everything comes down to a conflict between a rehearsal dinner and the garage band's big chance at the House of Blues, and when Anna, in Tess's body, makes her little speech at the dinner, we hear the daughter's resentments: "It's great we're getting married -- even though my husband died. How quickly I've been able to get over it!"
The outlines of body-switch movies almost write themselves, although I'd like to see what would happen with an R-rated version. The clever writing here helps, but the actors help even more, with Lohan and Curtis taking big physical chances. Curtis, channeling the daughter inside her, has a hilarious scene on a talk show; she's supposed to be a serious psychiatrist discussing her new book, but sits cross-legged in her chair and leads the audience in routines that seem vaguely inspired by summer camp.
Lindsay Lohan, who starred in the recycled "The Parent Trap" (1998), has that Jodie Foster sort of seriousness and intent focus beneath her teenage persona, and Jamie Lee Curtis has always had an undercurrent of playfulness; they're right for these roles not only because of talent, but because of their essential natures. We're always sure who is occupying each body, even if sometimes they seem to forget. Now if only their Chinese enabler doesn't run out of fortune cookies.

Ebert has such a smutty mind. Yeesh.

That said, I'm glad this is apparently a good movie. How often do good live action family movies come out these days? Once every year, if that?

Yeah, and I love it :D

I think Lindsay Lohan is a very charismatic young actress, and I have no doube that Jamie Lee Curtis will have a blast just being goofy throughout the film. It's strike gold with the family market, and by the looks the trailers, deservedly so. I personally don't quite fit the demographic it's aiming for, but I'm sure it'll be just right for that crowd.

Maybe I'll check it out on video.

[AppleHuntr]

Freaky Friday 7/10

I was surprised how much I enjoyed this movie, me and my friends saw it kind of half out of interest and half as a joke. We were pretty much the only people over 16 and under 30 in the full theater but I was set on having a good time with or at the expense of the film, and I did, but the film actually delivered.

Freaky Friday has a brisk pace and plenty of laughs to entertain even those who dread seeing this remake. Both Curtis and Lohan are wonderful in the lead roles. Sure the film is predictable and a bit generic, but, like Ebert, I saw surprised how much you actually feel for these characters. Theyre interesting to watch and developed past what youd expect in this sort of movie.

Highlightscene: "Pink Slip"s performance at the House of Blues. When Anna started waving her arms the whole crowd was going hysterical, and the scene was also, dare i say it, touching. and most surprising of all, Annas band didnt suck!

Freaky Friday is one of the most enjoyable comedies of the summer, or hell, the year. (keep in mind its been a slow year, but still)

[Jim H]

He was saying he was trying to imagine it with an R rating - me thinks he is referring to the characters having sex in each others bodies. And it isn't the R-rating that is smutty - it is Roger Ebert. He was buddies with Russ Meyer for years at his height, I think that says it all.

[noahx29]

I just saw this movie, I snuck into it, after watching SWAT... And I'll be honest, I actually enjoyed Freaky Friday better than SWAT!! It was just more entertaining to me, very well done movie... And yes, too bad Lindsay Lohan is so young, cuz she's very hot! ;)

[Hannibal21]

Ok, I'll be seeing it this weekend. I do have a soft spot for these family, non animated type films, especially if they're coming from Disney. And so far, most critics are liking it so far so, what could it hurt?...:)

Just felt like saying it - Freaky Friday is the best reviewed movie to be released this year in a major distribution. Is that right, or did I miss someone that had a better rottentomatoes "fresh" rating?

Oh come on, you know you were thinking it too ;).

If I switched bodies with someone, I'd probably have sex too. Well, as long as I switched bodies with someone that looked as good as me :D.

Just think, if you were a teenager and you switched bodies with an adult, you could have sex with an adult and it wouldn't be illegal. Or if you were an adult and switched with a teenager, you could have sex with another teenager and it wouldn't be illegal. That's kind of interesting. I actually wonder what an R-rated "body switch" movie would be like. The ones now really aren't that realistic, although it's understandable since they are mostly family-oriented. I wouldn't mind seen a R-rated independent "body switch" movie :).

I was thinking the same thing when they switched. I also thought she could take drugs and not harm herself and do other naughty stuff because its not on her :D BTW I'd have sex too ;)

[chinton]

I was going to see SWAT tonight but I dont think I can take another bad blow-em-up film. I think Ill see Friday again and see how well it hold up and wait for SWAT on video.

[Freeway]

I went into this very skeptical because of it a being a remake and all but I have to say that Freaky Friday was a really good movie. It's the best comedy that I have seen this summer with stellar lead performances by Lohan and Curtis and stylish direction by Mark Waters. See this movie and you won't regret it.
9/10

[Lazy Boy]

I must add another positive review. This is a really fun film, with two great comedic performances by Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsey Lohan, who are buoyed by a well written script. It is a formulaic movie, and there is a speech given near the end that is a teensy bit treacly, but this was one of the more enjoyable movie going experiences since, well, forever.

Grade: 7/10

[Hannibal21]

Just saw it.....it was pretty good. Although the original was better (8/10), this was charming, funny, and very VERY enjoyable. An extremely good time I had at the theatres.

7/10

[Kim_EZ]

Wow, what a cute film. I love Jamie Lee Curtis and only saw it for her. And she stole the show. Cute, oh so cute movie.

[sleekproductions]

When I first heard about this film I thought it sounded like crap. But as time went on, I started to warm up on it. When the first trailer came out, however, I lost all faith. Nevertheless, I still went and saw it, and boy was it good. It was cute, funny, refreshing, and well acted. Really, what a nice surprise this was. Both Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan (who is quite the looker, by the way), were excellent in their roles, and the supporting cast were all fine too. The screenplay was surprisingly sharp and witty, and the director added some great touches to it. All in all, this is a great family film and one not to be missed by all ages.
